About 75 percent of enrolled students are studying in Ithaca, and the University saw a decrease to 97 percent of its target enrollment.
Cornell saw an increase in applicants and a decrease in acceptance rate for the Class of 2024.
After a video of the incoming freshman using a racial slur circulated on Twitter, the University confirmed he will no longer attend Cornell.
Despite enrollment uncertainty, Cornell received acceptances from 3,344 first-year students after May 1, a number that is higher than the University’s target.
Cornell will suspend standardized testing requirements for the upcoming admissions cycle, becoming the first school in the Ivy League to do so.
Beginning with the Class of 2024, the University will stop biannually reporting accepted student application numbers and demographics — an uncommon move among top-tier universities.
Thursday’s “Ivy Day” marked a culmination of years of hard work and ambition for Cornell’s newly admitted class of 2024.
The University will no longer report application data when admission decisions are released each fall and spring — a move that arrives because the University does not want to discourage qualified applicants.
In the middle of the harsh Ithaca winter, 50 new Cornellians faced the cold and joined the Class of 2023 in January, as first-year spring admits.
Last Spring, a graduating senior from my former high school in Los Angeles reached out to me for advice. He was torn between two college choices: University of California, Los Angeles and Cornell. He told me that as a California resident, he most fears the difficult adjustment to Cornell’s frigid winters. When he asked me about my experience, I told him, truthfully, that I still have trouble with Ithaca’s cold weather and went on to discuss Cornell’s other pros and cons. He ended up picking UCLA.
